Internet education thus also provides the individuals to balance their time according to their own needs, as there is no fixed time to attend the lectures. This also allows the poor class of people to work and study at the same time through internet education.

Uses of Internet

Internet has been the most useful technology of the modern times which helps us not only in our daily lives, but also our personal and professional lives developments. The internet helps us achieve this in several different ways.

For the students and educational purposes the internet is widely used to gather information so as to do the research or add to the knowledge of any sort of subject they have. Even the business personals and the professions like doctors, access the internet to filter the necessary information for their use. The internet is therefore the largest encyclopedia for everyone, in all age categories.

The internet has served to be more useful in maintaining contacts with friends and relatives who live abroad permanently. The easiest communication means like the internet chatting systems and the emails are the best and the most common for the maintaining contacts with the people around the world.

Not to forget internet is useful in providing with most of the fun these days. May it be all the games, and networking conferences or the online movies, songs, dramas and quizzes, internet has provided the users with a great opportunity to eradicate the boredom from their lives.

Internet is also used to upgrade the internet and use special software to work on the projects and documentation works as the internet enables the user to download a myriad of different software for a variety of different purposes, making it much easier than buying the costly software cds.

Internet connection equipments

There are certain requirements that the PC needs to be equipped with for the use of the internet connection on the computer. There are two basic parts in any sort of PC which supports the applications and programs used on the internet. These are the Hardware and the Software requirements.

The Hardware requirements are generally more demanding and complicated than the software requirements. The essential hardware needed to be installed on the computer for internet access include first of all a CPU with a Pentium of either 2, 3 or 4 Celeron, Duron or either Athlon. The memory of the PC should be at a minimum of 64MB but it is strongly recommended to have it more than that so as to increase the performance and the speed of the internet. The Video Graphics card is also a necessary requirement for the internet access; the card must support the resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels with the minimum of 256 colors.

The modem of the pc has to be a minimum of 56Kbps with the internal type configuration, or if the external type is used the fast serial port hardware is also required. However more than the modem the modern technologies of the DSL broadband connections are much better to use and strongly recommended.

The software equipments for the internet connections are very few and reasonably easy to follow. A web browser is generally needed for the internet browsing and the visiting of the web sites. The most commonly used web browsers are the Internet Explorer with the version of 5 or later, and the Netscape 4.7. These browsers generally require the plug-ins for the use of the Flash which is a very common component of almost all internet web sites.

Internet tools

Internet tools are basically used so as to make the internet use much easier via some of the applications specially made for a particular internet business.

These tools are advanced and custom-built for the development of the internet, so that the optimal management can be achieved both in the informational and communication solutions. These tools are also available commercially.

Different networks are compatible with different internet tools, as described further.

The tools related to the networking of the TCP/IP most widely used is the "Fifi Ping »"

The Ping is actually used for the basic inquiry to determine whether the host which is governing the internet is alive and transmitting information and signals or not. The ping tool performs this task by sending data to the host of the network used for the internet so as to see the response and the time period required to achieve it.

The internet tool of the "Icestorm NSLookup »" is used to convert your personal domain name into an IP or the internet protocol address, like the form (216.122.237.109) it can then be used for exactly the opposite task, but the DNS server has to be queried for that.

The other internet tool related with the Internet protocol "Dig DNS Check »" is used to gain information from the DNS servers using the domain information groper of the DIG.

The internet tool of the "logic Host Check »" is used by the network of TCP/IP to perform several different tasks and tools of the network in one single host.

What is internet..????

The internet in simple terms is a network of the interlinked computer networking worldwide, which is accessible to the general public. These interconnected computers work by transmitting data through a special type of packet switching which is known as the IP or the internet protocol.

Internet is such a huge network of several different interlinked networks relating to the business, government, academic, and even smaller domestic networks, therefore internet is known as the network of all the other networks. These networks enable the internet to be used for various important functions which include the several means of communications like the file transfer, the online chat and even the sharing of the documents and web sites on the WWW, or the World Wide Web.

It is always mistaken said that the internet and the World Wide Web are both the same terms, or are synonymous. Actually there is a very significant difference between the two which has to be clear to understand both the terms. The internet and World Wide Web are both the networks yet; the internet is the network of the several different computers which are connected through the linkage of the accessories like the copper wires, the fiber optics and even the latest wireless connections. However, the World Wide Web consists of the interlinked collection of the information and documents which are taken as the resource by the general public. These are then linked by the website URLs and the hyperlinks. Therefore World Wide Web is one of the services offered by the whole complicated and huge network of the internet.

The use of IP in the Internet is the integral part of the network, as they provide the services of the internet, through different layers organization through the IP data packets. There are other protocols that are the sub-classes of the IP itself, like the TCP, and the HTTP.
